Hi Declan, We can use Wikimedia Commons (commons.wikimedia.org) images directly in WE, using the same code that we use to embed WE images except using the name of the image from Wikimedia Commons. The rich text editor tutorials include a section on how to do it (using the Rich Editor)<http://wikieducator.org/Wikieducator_rich_text_editor_tutorials/Images/Basics#Using_an_image_from_Wikimedia_Commons> .
Hope this is what you are looking for.
